This is a set of lessons that I did with my Algebra 1 class about factoring. We began with isolating a monomial, also known as a Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and went through factoring 3 part and 4 part polynomials. A great deal of technology was incorporated to ensure these lessons were engaging and applicable as well as to meet the needs of a diverse group of learners.
This activity comes from the Texas Instruments website. In this activity, students will explore tessellations of triangles and quadrilaterals. They will use the transformation tools of symmetry, reflections, rotations, and/or translations. All of this takes place using the TI-84 graphing calculator. The graphing calculator will help students visualize what takes place during transformations.
Proofs are always hard for students in Geometry class. These two activities/lessons for the SMART board from SMART exchange are a great way to help students grasp the understanding of the Geometry proof.
